Oh, right. This fails because the test really should be deprecated
since we already removed the check in e2fsck - see e2fsprogs commit
010dc7b90d97b93907cbf57b3b44f1c1cad234f6.

In this patch I removed setting the EXT4_INODE_EOFBLOCKS, however I
forgot the mention that in the description. Sorry about that.

Now I am not sure how we want to handle this. Either having it as a
part of this patch just update description, or having the
EXT4_INODE_EOFBLOCKS removal from the fallocate as a separate patch,
which probably make more sense to me. What would you prefer ?

Thanks!
